I Can't Stand It
My sister Maureen has an expression of glee and disbelief, "I can't stand it!" for things in life that are just too good, or funny, or cute, or wonderful. Well, the past few weeks with Elijah and Grace have sometimes seemed like one "I can't stand it!" moment after another. Two small examples:
This morning Grace was drinking her milk and was pretty close to finishing it. She put down the cup, looked at it, and smiled and nodded. She then paused, patted the top, laughed, and picked it up again to drink some more.
While I was changing Elijah's diaper this morning, he was getting antsy, so I started to count out loud as a distraction. He can say, "one," and "two," and "three," though not always in the right order, but today, out of nowhere, he took over after sixteen, saying, "... seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty..."
I can't stand it.
Poems: Read It
A while back I asked Nicco for a recommendation of poems to read Grace and Elijah. He delivered nicely the other day, sending along Poetry Speaks to Children. I read G&E four or five poems at and after dinner the day we received it, and Elijah's first request the following morning was, "Poems... read it," though the book was nowhere in sight.

I don't remember how I came across this, but it's a very funny and poignant first-person account of Mr. Benchley's move to NYC and his attempts to build a music career, with forays into his life in general.
